The '''MX-1050 Quantum Plane Translocation Marker-Local/Hybrid''', commonly known as the '''quantum marker''', is a prototype handheld [[slipspace translocation|translocation]] device in use by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]].<ref name="evg">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 128''</ref>

==Overview==
The device was developed by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[teleportation grid|translocation grid]] testing conducted on a variety of [[Forerunner]] installations. Currently in testing, it is ultimately intended to be used for the immediate transportation of assets from hostile environments. After enclosing an asset in a [[slipspace]]-shielded containment using [[Slipspace crate|slipspace crate]]s, operators dispatch a translocation beacon using the marker. Within seconds, the containment unit is sent offsite to a precalibrated receiver node. Although native translocation technology allows the transportation of organic mater, operators are expressly forbidden to use the MX-1050 in this manner due to it being unproven and extremely dangerous.{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShocks|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-system-shocks|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - System Shocks|D=30|M=06|Y=2023}}

In [[2557]], MX-1050s were used by {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} forces to rapidly translocate supplies from the [[carrier]] to [[Requiem]], allowing the UNSC to rapidly establish a foothold on the [[shield world]]. However, the encounters with [[Promethean]] troops on the plant ultimately saw researchers prioritise the ability to transport people with tools like the MX-1050.{{Ref/Site|Id=S4Intel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/infection-intel|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite - Infection Intel|D=16|M=08|Y=2023|LocalArchive=Halo Infinite Story & Intel}} By [[2560]], a similar (albeit more advanced) "[[Quantum Translocator]]" prototype was undergoing similar research by the UNSC. Unlike the MX-1050, the Quantum Translocator is capable of moving organic bodies through slipspace - though is expected to remain out of mass deployment for the foreseeable future.{{Ref/Reuse|CFShocks}}
 
A similar "[[Teleport]]" [[armor ability]] has also been used in [[War Games]] simulations by UNSC ''Infinity'' personnel, though its relation to the MX-1050 and Quantum Translocator - if any - and whether the equipment exists outside of the simulations is unknown.
